    This is what Silex v3 looks like right now (on my way for an alpha). In particular the style manager, fonts manager and the concept of symbols. Font manager: 2:20 Symbols: 3:46 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH0hNa-na3M Also here is why we need a free and open source webflow https://www.silexlabs.org/why-silex-v3/ And here is how I'm building it https://www.silexlabs.org/silex-v3-kickoff/

    @fmerian i don't really plan to it's free software (as in free beer and free speach) We use it in my web studio to create eco-friendly website with people we train to no-code So no marketing budget if that was your question? 100% word of mouth ;)

    @fmerian yes that's interesting how to promote open source software and even more free software I think a good move would be to mutualise audiences and communication "power" with other open source no-code tools, e.g @directus @baserow @nocodb

    @fmerian Maybe fdroid is an example of that? We could at least advertise each others inside of our products. I did advertise matomo analytics for some time on the dashboard (first thing you see here: https://editable.silex.me )
